I prefer the F-100 to the F3.
21mm - 28mm - 50mm - 150mm 0r 200mm lenses
I like the Nikon AF lenses but I have been know to focus manual lenses as well. Remember that an AF lens can still be manually focused. While AF lenses are great for sports or wild life, they can be extremely useful even when shooting college graduations and small children in motion.

Thank you - good point with small children.. There are currently three of them tottering around me as I type..
Apart from them, I aim the camera to be as a backup to my MF/LF setup or generally something to grab when heading out for a walk...
